About YLI

The mandate of the Young Leaders in Infrastructure (YLI) is to engage and create relationships among the next generation of Canadian leaders in the infrastructure sector. Through networking and education opportunities, YLI will guide the growth of infrastructure and the P3 model for future generations.

YLI will deliver this mandate through the following three pillars:

Connect

Educate

Influence

Attract and retain talent

Traditional and interactive events

Use social media to communicate and facilitate networking

Connect with other groups and associations

Mentoring and career assistance

Knowledge sharing across disciplines

Understand more than transactional nature of infrastructure investments
